Don't know why but i had a bug (don't know if i still do) on Linux, if i don't turn on the monitor fast enough, it will never pick up the video signal until i start a session or restart the pc. It drove me crazy sometimes.

Have you tried windows? It's similar to linux but it works, you'll get the hang of it real quick

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I tried installing windows. My house is less drafty, but my computer still doesn't work.

[–] DreamySweet@ani.social 3 points 11 months ago

Try opening them. The computer might have too much dust in it and the drafts might blow it out.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

it works

Lol

Is it a rolling distro or LTS? How many packages in the official repo? How easy is it to use? What desktop environment does it install by default? Does it package a recent Plasma? Oh and I'm assuming it's systemd right?

lemmy is not the correct place to promote windows

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy is the right place for sarcastic comments though.

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

too bad I'm terrible at catching sarcasm

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is there any place to do that?

Who the fuck genuinely thinks Microsoft needs people to help promote their thoroughly entrenched OS? Might as well help promote eggs for breakfast.

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

i guess, apple consumers are too technologically impaired to promote linux to them, so i guess windows is a good start for them, if the next version of it won't be even more of a coprorative shit of an OS of course.

[–] nargacu83@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I'm good thanks

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Oh sure, unless they haven't bundled your drivers and then you lose days of pain. Some people value their time and having an OS that they don't need to configure everything for, buy specific hardware for, is good. There's a reason Linux is the default for the computers most people use.

[–] AceSLS@ani.social 3 points 11 months ago

Happens to me sometimes when my display freezes for some reason, making it unresponsive to any wake up signal my pc may send. After turning my display off/on, login in blindly and starting Xorg it works again. White LED (indicating no display signal) on my motherbord stays on though, and it's really bright which forces me to restart anyway

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Omg I have this issue aaaaa

[–] monooxid@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, i have the exact same problem as well (Linux Mint). Anybody got an idea how to solve this?

[–] nargacu83@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Start your monitor before starting your PC!
